I figured you'd like a bit of feedback for all the work you put into the task. My next step is to take the new machine (VM) I built yesterday and perform the replication (from Jake's video) so that we have two servers running about 10 minutes apart. Nothing like a hot backup if one goes down! I've tried this before and out of three times I've tried, only one has worked. The bad news on that one time that worked is that the server and internet speed at the remote site was way too slow, so it caused issues and had to be terminiated. The MySQL replication works perfectly every time. It's the Unison part that failed the last two times. Cross your fingers! Thanks, Scott

After a little more testing, I've confirmed that: .) cdb must be rebuilt after reinstalling simscan. Otherwise it stays broken.
